Such a wonderland of nature. It’s never busy. The waterfalls are stunning at anytime of year. There are deer, dippers, and many other birds and animals. A most beautiful peaceful place. These pics and videos were taken January 2021. The car park at Dry Mill is very small so get there either early or late afternoon for the best chance of parking.

A fabulous area for a walk, a run, a bike ride or out on the horse - multiple tracks and trails with lots of different signposts that give you an idea of how far the walk will be. There are multiple car parks are but they get full pretty quickly. There is a cafe, toilets and Go Ape at the big visitor centre area. The forest itself is full of wildlife, plenty of deer, birds, butterflies, etc. No matter what season you go in there is always something to see. I love walking here with the dogs, they love going in the water! Some paths can get very muddy and some are rocky so watch your step, but the big main paths are suitable for prams and wheelchairs. A great place to relax, get a bit of peace and quiet and get back to nature.

Not been for years but has changed a bit since last visit. Ideal dog walking area with wide gravel paths, suitable for the less able and pushchairs. Great viewpoint stop overlooking Trimpley Reservoir and Severn Valley Railway

Absolutely love it here, this is our favourite place to walk our dogs. Nice cafe where you can get food & drinks at a reasonable price.

A jewel in Worcestershire's crown! The Wyre first is an amazing experience on all the senses in spring summer autumn or winter! There are miles and miles of paths / cycles trails ( some gravel some hardened soil ( that can get muddy in places especially near streams ) dotted around are wonderful carvings by artists that enhance the enjoyment. A visitor centre on site / bicycle hire and Go Ape! Car parks plenty but can get full. Only a short walk from Bewdley along the River Severn so that's the option I take. Visit, soak in the amazing views ( try and catch a glimpse of the wildlife ( I've seen deers on two occasions ) and the abundance of birds, enjoy an English forest at its best and help preserve for future generations by sticking to paths and please take and please take your litter home.

Lovely forest for a walk, easily spend a day here.
Plenty of trails and wildlife, have even found an Adder curled up In a dry river bed while I was biking.
Great to visit in different seasons.

Very nice place, spent 6 hours by walking and enjoying the beauty of this forest, all the birds singing so beautifully, being able to take a deep breath of clear air with flower's sentence ...
Not too busy and have seen only very respectfull walkers , however must say it was a bit difficult to find parking spot as all been full despite it was before 9am .
Luckily we have found a spot near Dry Mill Ln , so we could have a great time.
